(1) Project of former Hüsker Dü member Bob Mould.
(2) A Korean girl-pop group.
(3) A Japanese visual-kei group (Ｓｕｇａｒ).
(4) A Copenhagen producer, DJ and co-founder of Fast Forward Productions.
(5) An Australian psy-trance producer/artist
(6) A rockband from Den Bosch, The Netherlands.
Sugar (1) was formed by Bob Mould after the breakup of Hüsker Dü, and conceived as having a similar sound, though with Mould as the sole leader. As such, the band was a trio with Mould on guitar and voice, David Barbe (formerly of Mercyland) on bass, and Malcolm Travis (formerly with Zulus and Human Sexual Response) on drums. The band released three studio albums and a collection of live tracks and B-sides before breaking up in 1995.
SUGAR (2) (슈가) was a 4 member moderately successful girl pop group originating from South Korea. The group began in 2001 with their first album Tell Me Why that included the two singles Sweet Love and Tell Me Why. Afterwards a year later they released their sophomore album Shine which was more successful than their first. Like other fellow Korean acts SUGAR emerged into the Japanese market with their first two singles GO THE DISTANCE and All My Loving after their second Korean album.
Then soon afterwards Jung Eum, a member of Sugar decided to leave the group after their mini album Secret was released. Replacing her with Haleen, SUGAR moved on to release two more singles and their sophomore Japanese album. Then moving back to their roots SUGAR released their 3rd Korean album Sweet Lips one year after their mini album. Yet after this release Soo Jin announced that she would also be leaving SUGAR to concentrate on an acting career.
With the release of SUGAR's sophomore Japanese album COLORS 4 WISHES, each member decided to be a solo musician. Then on December 20, 2006 KBS World Radio announced that SUGAR would disband at the end of 2006. 아유미 (Ayumi/Ahyoomee) has since become a member of the SMTOWN family.
Sugar (3) (Ｓｕｇａｒ; シュガー) was a Japanese Visual/Nagoya Kei rock group made up of ex-Vall'na racill vocalist Loki, SIZNA (Gu.), 殊 (Koto; Ba.) and 篤人 (Atsuto; Dr.). The group started in mid 2004, and in 2005 they released their first single. Unfortunately, 殊 (Koto) left the group on December 29th, 2007 after their live at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO. In January Shingo joined the band as their new bassist. In March 2008 they released their first full album, SWEETEST.
Only four months after the departure of 殊 (Koto), a newsletter was sent to fans explaining that they were to disband. This was due to musical differences between the members and they felt they were unable to continue on as a band. They also announced the Sugar LAST ONEMAN TOUR , a three day three-man event to be held prior to their final one-man tour. May 8th featured lynch. and Sel’m, DuelJewel and MaitoreiA on May 9th, and Ｍｏｒａｎ and ｂｏｏｇｉｅｍａｎ on the last date.
Their final release, titled Letters, came out on the 20th of May and was sold in advance, on May 8th, at the LAST ONEMAN TOUR [ epilogue ] at Takadanobada AREA. The final tour started May 15th at Sapporo KRAPS HALL and the final concert was at Shibuya O-East on the July 4th.

Armenia City in the Sky
Sugar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close your eyes and think of this
If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts
Close your eyes and think of this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
Just take off, there's no risk
If you ever want to disappear
Just take off, and think of this
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
The sky is glass, the sea is brown
And everyone is upside-down
Armenia, city in the sky
Armenia, city in the sky
Freak out!
Freak out!
The lyrics to Sugar’s song “Armenia City in the Sky” are a call to escape from the troubles of the world and find solace in a surreal, otherworldly place. The song encourages listeners to close their eyes and imagine themselves in Armenia, a city located in the sky. This is a metaphorical representation of escaping reality - a place were rumours or worries cannot reach us. The city is described as inverted and dreamlike, a place where time is lost and it’s safe to disappear without risk. This is particularly emphasised in the repetitive chorus that puts emphasis on “Armenia, city in the sky” and suggests a kind of mantra, inviting listeners to forget their earthly troubles and immerse themselves in a transcendent experience.
The image of the city in the sky is particularly compelling because it is both unreachable and unattainable. It is a utopian ideal that exists solely in our imagination. This allows us to escape from reality and enter an alternate state of mind. The lyrics suggest that it is possible to lose ourselves completely in this dreamlike world, where the sky is made of glass and the sea is brown. The song encourages us to embrace this state of escapism and get lost in a dream world where we can forget about our earthly struggles and find peace.

If you're troubled and you can't relax
If you're feeling uneasy and unable to calm down
Close your eyes and think of this
Take a moment to escape and imagine something else
If the rumors floating in your head all turn to facts
If your worries and fears become reality
If you ever want to lose some time
If you ever need to forget about the world for a while
Just take off, there's no risk
Just get away and don't worry about the consequences
If you ever want to disappear
If you ever want to escape completely
The sky is glass, the sea is brown
The world around you is distorted and strange
And everyone is upside-down
Everything is disorienting and confusing
Freak out!
Let go and embrace the chaos
Armenia, city in the sky
A place of imagination and possibility, where anything is possible
Armenia, city in the sky
A reminder of the power of imagination and escapism

What a cover ! The Who recorded this song and its on their "Sell Out" album, one of their very best. Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos did also a great version in his "Greetings from Bunezuela" CD.
